My story
My first lines of code were written in 2016. I started with VisuAlg, then moved to C, and at some point programming stopped being just curiosity and became part of my life. Even though I focused more on web development than on areas like game development, I never stopped exercising that creative side.
As a kid, I was always building something. I would collect scraps, plastic bottles, matchboxes and whatever else looked like it could turn into a toy. I also drew constantly. Later, I started creating comic stories, original characters and even a superhero of my own called Chameleon Man. My dream back then was to create a cartoon for Cartoon Network. The notebook that held his origin story was eventually lost, but the urge to create worlds never left.
A lot of my creative instincts still come from the cartoons that shaped me, like Courage the Cowardly Dog, The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, Flapjack, Adventure Time, Over the Garden Wall, Gumball and Gravity Falls.
In the end, programming became my work, but I still found a way to fulfill both dreams. Today I work in tech and also publish short animated stories online, talking about adult topics through a lighter and more approachable visual language. So in a way, I really did end up becoming both a programmer and a cartoon creator.
